• Right-to-Left, BiDi, and Top-to-Bottom script support
• ALTO, abbyXML, and hOCR output
• Word bounding boxes and character cuts
• Public repository of model files
• Lightweight model files
• Variable recognition network architectures

All functionality not pertaining to OCR and prerequisite steps has been removed, i.e. no more error rate measuring, etc.
